Our Service is Free
We provide metal recovery containers and pickup at no cost to you. It's that simple.
The Only Exception: Compliance Fees
To keep the service free for everyone, we ask that you follow simple guidelines about what goes in the metal container.
✓ What's Allowed
- Appliances (refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers)
- HVAC units and water heaters
- Steel, aluminum, copper, brass
- Metal fixtures and hardware
- Clean metal scrap
✗ What's Not Allowed
- Regular trash or garbage
- Wood, plastic, or cardboard
- Hazardous materials
- Construction debris (non-metal)
- Food waste or liquids
Important: If non-metal materials are repeatedly placed in the container after we've provided guidance, compliance fees may apply to cover the extra sorting and disposal costs. We'll always communicate with you first.

Common Questions
Is the service really free?
Yes. We provide the container and pickup at no cost. The only time fees apply is if non-metal materials are repeatedly placed in the container after we've provided guidance on what's allowed.
What happens if someone accidentally puts trash in the metal container?
We understand mistakes happen. We'll let you know what we found and provide clear guidance. Compliance fees only apply if the issue continues after we've communicated the guidelines.
Do I need to sort the metal myself?
No. Just keep metal separate from regular trash. We handle all sorting of different metal types – steel, aluminum, copper, brass – at no charge.
How quickly can you schedule a pickup?
Pickups can be scheduled and completed within 48 hours, and sometimes same day depending on availability. If you have an urgent need, just let us know and we'll make it happen.
Can you provide documentation for compliance or reporting?
Yes. We provide pickup receipts and recycling documentation that you can use for sustainability reporting, compliance records, or internal tracking.
